• In the mixing bowl of a stand Mixer, add the Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, and Salt, and blend with the Whisk attachment.
• In another bowl, add the Milk, Eggs, and Vanilla, and stir or Whisk together until well blended.
• Add the Shortening to the mixing bowl, and mix until blended. You may need to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and blend a couple of times to incorporate the Shortening.

• Spray the Donut Pan with Cooking Spray, and add the Red Batter, filling 1/3 of the Donut cup, then add the Blue Batter filling another 1/3 of the Donut cup, and finish the last 1/3 with the plain Batter, making the total cup about 3/4 full, with the 3 colors.
• Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes, do not over bake.
• Remove from oven, and remove Donuts from pan to a wire rack to cool, for about 30 minutes.

Make the Glaze:

• In a small bowl, add the Powdered Sugar, and Milk, and stir well until blended. Divide Glaze into 3 bowls.
• Color one bowl Red, and one bowl Blue, and leave the White Glaze in the bowl you mixed the Glaze in.
• When Donuts are cool, spoon the Red Glaze over 1/3 of the Donut, Blue Glaze over another 1/3, and the White Glaze over the remaining 1/3 of the Donut.
• Repeat glazing until all the Donuts have been Glazed.
• Sprinkle the Donuts with Red, White and Blue Sprinkles of choice.
• Serve, and Enjoy!
